Chapter 56: The so-called courage
"Chu Ge, what do you think of courage?" said the old man leisurely.
"It's stupid and bold!" Chu Ge said indifferently: "If you say it's good, it's called courage, and if you say it's ugly, you're stunned, I don't know how to write dead words!"
The old man was speechless, and he held back for a long time before saying, "That's it, let me ask you a question."
If a cat walks past you and you touch it, do you have the courage?"
Chu Ge didn't know why, and replied casually: "What kind of courage is it to touch a cat? Who wouldn't dare?"
When the old man heard this, he smiled and continued to ask: "If you are a mouse, do you have the courage to touch that cat?"
"Rats flirting with cats, that's not courage, it's a special drink too much!" Chu Ge pursed his lips and said, "What do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush, just say it!"
The old man was choked up, and said with some annoyance: "Do you want to hear it?"
Chu Ge hurriedly smiled and said, "I want to listen, I want to listen......!"
The old man snorted coldly before continuing: "You and the rat did the same thing, one is not courageous, the other is bold, why is that? In other words, what is the difference between you and the rat?
As you might have guessed, fear!
The biggest difference between you is fear! Cats are the natural enemies of mice, and rats have courage if they overcome their fear and flirt with cats!
So, the root of courage is fear!
As you said before, some people are born to be not afraid of the earth, are they considered courageous?
They don't know what fear is, where the courage comes from? They don't know because of ignorance, or because they look down on life and death, because they look down on everything.
When they encounter something that can arouse their inner fear, their spirit will collapse in an instant! Such a person is not a brave person at all!"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and the last few words seemed to evoke some kind of memory in his heart, almost screaming out.
These words reminded Chu Ge of an incident in the pre-civilization period, Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin!
At the end of the Warring States period, Dan, the prince of Yan, ordered Jing Ke to assassinate King Yingzheng of Qin, and sent him a warrior of Yan, Qin Wuyang, as his deputy.
Qin Wuyang dared to kill people at the age of twelve and was regarded as a warrior. But such a warrior, after seeing King Qin, was so frightened that he trembled, and he didn't dare to step forward to cooperate with Jing Ke to complete the assassination, so Jing Ke's assassination failed.
Qin Wuyang is probably the kind of person who is not afraid of tigers when a newborn calf is not afraid, but immediately collapses when he encounters real fear.
Chu Ge pondered, and after a while, he burst out of a sentence and said: "I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains?"
"That's right!" said the old man with satisfaction: "Those who can know and overcome fear are truly brave!"
You were extremely afraid of ghosts before, and when you encountered something evil, your inner fear reached the extreme, but you didn't have a mental breakdown because of this, so you developed a little courage.
Later, when you got those exchange points, although you didn't have much fear in your heart, you rose to the challenge and overcame your fear, so you developed a lot of courage!"
Chu Ge touched his chin and said, "The greater the fear, the deeper the degree of overcoming the fear, so the more exchange points you get?"
"That's right!" said the old man with a smile, "but it's not necessarily the case, it has something to do with the reason why you overcame your fears. ”
"The reason for overcoming fear?" Chu Ge was at a loss again, wouldn't he just overcome his fear? What other reason could there be?
For example, if a person is extremely afraid of snakes, but one day he puts his hand into the snake's nest, is it considered courageous?"
"Of course!"
"But who would put his hand into the snake's nest in a normal person?" said the old man inscrutablely: "There must be a certain reason why he put his hand into the snake's nest!"
If someone made a bet with him, he would give him a large sum of money when he put his hand into the snake's nest. Then the reason why he overcame his fear was profit.
If his child accidentally falls into the snake's nest and needs to be rescued, then the reason for his overcoming fear is to lick the calf.
Do you understand?"
Chu Ge nodded and continued to ask, "Then which reason is the exchange point high?"
This time, the answer given by the old man was very concise: "Emphasis on affection and righteousness, light on wealth!"
The system is encouraging me to be a virgin?
"Haha, you kid is very wrong to think like this!" Hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "Although you can turn off my mind perception, can you stop the system from snooping on your mind?"
You ponder that when you overcome your fear and save people because the reason is to redeem points, will the system determine whether you are for love or profit?
If you dare to do this, the system will definitely give you a lesson that you will never forget!"
Chu Ge was helpless, a cheating method he had just come up with was rejected, for the sake of love to overcome fear, this kind of thing can be encountered but not sought!
Or is it more prudent for the sake of profit, for example, just now I made up my mind to take the risk of stealing the aura grains, didn't the system also give two hundred exchange points very generously?
......
Jishui Zhou.
"Lao Wang, what do you think about this time? Is it for the sake of a little compensation, so you are so excited?
I've always felt that something is wrong, you have to notice something, but don't forget to carry me. ”
At the door of the Zhou family, Sun Guangming whispered to Wang Xuanzhang.
Wang Xuanzhang was helpless, Lao Tzu still wanted to say this to you! Bullying the Jishui Zhou clan was such a trivial matter, and dozens of top princes were dispatched above!
This is obviously trying to destroy the rhythm of the Zhou family! Killing chickens and monkeys is not this killing method!
Lao Tzu has poured blood mold for eighteen lifetimes, and he must have been used as a gun from above!
Wang Xuanzhang, the cunning old fox, turned around a hundred times in his heart, and after some careful thinking and weighing, he spoke: "This matter is extraordinary, there is definitely some ulterior secret on it!"
Pay attention to what you say for a while, don't be busy asking for benefits first, you must grit your teeth and ask Chu Ge's whereabouts!
I guess the top will take this opportunity to make those places public!"
"Those places...... You mean the secret realm!" Sun Guangming said in shock: "You mean that Chu Ge entered the secret realm, and it was through the Zhou clan, but doesn't the secret realm have to rely on chance to enter?"
Wang Xuanzhang glanced at Sun Guangming meaningfully: "Are you playing official, or are you really an idiot?"
As King Kang's henchman, you won't know the deeper reasons of the secret realm, right?
Let me tell you, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, if you play with me, you will be treated as an outcast, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Sun Guangming was speechless after saying something, and after a while, he smiled dryly: "I'm going to call the door?"
"What's it called? Are you stupid?" Wang Xuanzhang glanced at Sun Guangming like a fool, and was ordered to pretend to be thirteen, this is a good opportunity that is not encountered in a hundred years!
Wang Xuanzhang took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Wang Xuanzhang is here, come to raid the house again!"
Immediately after rising in the air, he once again stepped on the door plaque of Jishui Zhou's family, and stood with his hands in his hands, with a momentum of dominating the world.
Sun Guangming was dumbfounded, it is better to be famous than to meet, and it is better to meet than to be famous!
I had only heard that this old man had made a big fuss at the gate of Jishui Zhou, but he never expected him to be so arrogant.
Before they met, they stepped on the door plaque of the house, and shouted that they would raid the house and exterminate the clan, this old man would not be killed directly......
"Old man, you deceive people too much, you dare to come to the door twice, really when I Jishui Zhou's mud is not done?"
"I will destroy you today!"
"Kill him!"
A terrifying aura rose into the air, and the momentum was violent, as if Wang Xuanzhang was going to be torn to pieces before he would give up!
Wang Xuanzhang didn't panic at all, dusted off the soil on his trouser legs, smiled back, raised his eyebrows at Sun Guangming, and spit out two words in his mouth: "You go!"
Sun Guangming's face turned green in an instant, why did you stab Lou Zi and let Lao Tzu stand up to the thunder?
......
On an unknown mountain peak thousands of miles away from Jishui.
Two figures, one black and one white, sat opposite each other and played chess, and the strange thing was that the faces of the two were blurred.
After the man in white dropped a chess piece, he suddenly smiled and said: "Wang Xuanzhang, that old thing, after so many years, he still looks like a fool!"
The corners of the black-clothed man's mouth rose, and he followed a chess piece and said, "Although I am tired, I am a usable talent!"
Although the man in black was smiling and talking, his tone seemed to be the ice of eternity, which was terrifying.
"Isn't your Sun Guangming suitable?" The man in white was not affected at all, shook his head and said: "He is sad on his face, but he is arrogant in his heart, and he has the same temperament as the eldest lady of the Mu family......"
